Oct. 31, 2009 - Columbus Halloween Haunts - a poll

What's your personal taste in Halloween haunts Columbus?  It's a poll.

The Columbus Dispatch had an article about the Haunted Hoochie a couple of weeks ago.  It seems part of the Haunted Hoochies scaryness is a simulated  suicide...  

Haunted Hoochie - Halloween attraction includes simulated suicide

The article is written by Rita Price.

I've never been to the Haunted Hoochie.  Geographic? It's way out there in Pataskala and I live and work in the Worthington area.  Or am I just too old?  I visited their website earlier this year and it warned it might not be suitable if you are too young or if you are too old.  

Is your taste in Halloween fun similar to your taste in scary movies?  Is the Scare-A-Torium in the Northland area scary?  Is the Scare- A-Torium more tame than the Haunted Hoochie? I meant to go.  Never made it.

In the Columbus Dispatch article about the Haunted Hoochie which has been around for years  Rita Price wrote:

"Industry representatives acknowledge that haunted houses outgrew Frankenstein and Dracula long ago. Like amusement parks and their roller-coaster wars, the big Halloween attractions try to one-up one another with increasingly realistic effects and costumes."

It's a poll, choose all that apply or other.  "The Other"  wasn't that a scary movie in the 70s?
